DC, you brought the energy! We joined forces with @escala_dc and @dominguezcorporation to turn @dcboulderingproject into a hub of climbing, connection, and community. Plates were full, playlists were loud, and the send train kept rolling all night long. Thanks to everyone who climbed, mingled, and stuck around till the lights came up.

Backcountry Pulse x SoulTrak Recap 🌿⛰️ This past weekend, we spent time with SoulTrak alongside 7 other DC-based outdoor and environmental organizations, completing CPR + Wilderness First Aid certifications with Backcountry Pulse. Huge shoutout to @soultrakoutdoors for bringing this group together and continuing to invest in outdoor leadership, safety, and community care. It meant a lot to be in space with so many folks doing powerful work across the DC region. It was inspiring to witness how deeply everyone showed up; engaging, asking questions, and shifting their perspectives around wilderness medicine. A big takeaway: these skills aren’t just for the backcountry… they’re tools we carry into our everyday lives and communities. Huge, huge thank you to @legacyhilltop for hosting both the course and the instructors. Y’all were incredible, truly such gems. And the morning breakfasts did not go unnoticed 💛 If you haven’t already, be sure to check out Backcountry Pulse to learn more about bringing a Wilderness First Aid (WFA) or Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course to your organization or outdoor community. Grateful for spaces like this that continue to build knowledge, confidence, and collective care. #communitycare #wildernessmedicine
